Just one hundred and fifty years ago, in 1865, Florence became the capital of Italy. This lasted only seven years, but that short period was sufficient to determine important and unforgettable changes in the city. That's why I got the idea to take a little trip, of course with my notebook, through the places connected to that period. I chose the architectures and the parts of town that were designed and built in those years, and therefore did not exist before.

In this first sketch, the Ramps of Piazza Poggi, scenic system designed to access from the city to the panoramic terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo, and to consolidate the hill of San Miniato.

(Keep in mind the name of Giuseppe Poggi: he is the architect-engineer protagonist of the major transformations of that time).
